With ‘Les Blancs,’ Yael Farber Resurrects a Rebuke of ColonialismBy DAVID BELCHER APRIL 20, 2016

PARIS — In discussing her work, the theater director Yael Farber often invokes the concept of a “reckoning” — a potent word from someone who was raised in apartheid South Africa and whose latest production, a reworking of Lorraine Hansberry’s unfinished play “Les Blancs,” dramatizes the effects of African colonialism.

“Les Blancs,” which had a brief run on Broadway in 1970 but had languished since then, opened last month at the National Theater in London to impressive reviews, with The Guardian calling it “a near-perfect production of an imperfect play.”
